15,000 Dominoes - Admire the little things in life

Sometimes in life, we’re too anxious about the unknown future. The infinite possibilities are overwhelming, and the uncertainty about what happens next is a daunting prospect. The hopes of what could be distract us from the beauty of the present.
In a world of endless instant stimulation, no time is wasted and everyone moves so fast. Results are valued over well-being, and Efficiency becomes more important than happiness.
We should all strive to live in the moment and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. In order to achieve that goal, maybe all we need is one small push.
This video is a project for my English class, which is probably why I was able to actually finish it by a deadline lol
That's also why the first minute or so is super philosophical
The project was an open-ended artistic endeavor to create whatever you saw fit under the topic of 'transcendentalism.' I chose to make this video, and after 40 hours of planning, designing, building, and editing, it's finally done.
I know I say this every time, but hopefully this won't be all you see of me for another year. Maybe I should try the whole deadline thing more often.

always loved seeing meaningful domino videos, and this video does that very well! this really is a thing that i super admire in life, very beautiful, a work of art. this is wayyy too good for an entry for a class project, it this doesnt win and loses of a *dance video of a **-meaningful-** song* then your teacher really did let her one year old son to judge the entries 🥶

I loved your videos when you first started and this was well worth the wait, it’s time to set the old times for us to remember, I love your videos, and this video is no exception

Dang, this is absolutely beautiful! It's pretty often that this message is communicated, but never in a way as well-put and beautiful as this. I mean, there are so many ways to see it, but one thing about it is always true: there are lots of little things to appreciate regardless of quality and quantity. I mean, this really gives to 2022, and all of us in the community lately. In 2022, it's harder for us to keep up, because so many of us haven't uploaded, and don't know how to build with less inspiration. We also have shorts flooding the KZbin panels, and a lot of us are either busy or transitioning into grades such as high school. We also have several artists who came out fast in 2020, who are leaving, or staying inactive because of the slow decreases. The community right now is facing lots of credit they deserve going straight to low-effort artists who only do shorts, and even the best of the videos are starting to stop, and sometimes wear out a bit, which limits our possible inspiration. And some of us have also moved on more, and are having fun with other things, because we want to be active just waiting for a day to come when everyone comes back, or when good videos come out more, and more builders are active. For a lot of us nowadays, we also seem to just be pretty much giving up and/or quitting. With that, many of us that are building don't exactly see the good that has come, and the beauty of the community still. It's hard to understand, but easier than we think to see. And now for me, I haven't felt much in 2022. There are times where I have a hard time enjoying the moment, because I am worried that it will be over soon, or that I will make choices I regret, which I also very easily do. It's been hard because I feel worried, and so rough that I can't enjoy anything. It's hard to speak out about it. I mean, there are many things around me that I should appreciate, but nowadays I just barely have. That's why this video shows a lot. I can see that a lot of us have changed lately. I started high school, and I can see that your voice, like mine has defenitely changed. It's crazy how hard it is to appreciate things, and let that carry us through the year, when there is so much out there that we have that others don't. That's the big thing about this video that makes it more beautiful than it seems. I mean for me, I am proud of my builds, and building better than ever, but it's hard to do, because barely any others do build right now. I seem to lose my inspiration easily, and keep having a hard time thinking about what I could do for the future. I am also very indecisive, and easily regret other things. That's why this video means a lot. That would be why everything here is so well said, because It summarizes life, and how we need to see things, although it's hard. It gets hard to appreciate life, and live in the moment, but that is what brings it all together. You did an awesome job filiming, narrating, and building in this video. Your colors, and message mean a lot, and they are extremely powerful. More powerful than you, and me realize to be honest. Thanks for coming back this time to upload this amazing story. The dedication is worth a thousand words. The color chainging dominoes also show how hard you work on stuff like this. I can't get over how beautiful it all is, and I hope that it get's the recognition it deserves. People don't realize how admirable everything is, but that doesn't mean it's too late. I think you might be that one little push.

Thanks for this, I always enjoy your comments and this one especially rings true 🙂

[@AWoodenDomino]

Love the idea!

[@micajodomino]

New TJ domino video!!!! Literally so happy to see this, i've been craving to see more of your building style and setups ever since Domino Projects 10 came out. This video did not disappoint, your narration was well written and it tied in very nicely to the screenlink. The colour combinations and theming in every clip was extremely well done, especially in the lightning/storm clip and the "roll with the tides of life" clip, overall you did an amazing job with this project and I hope to see more from you soon(ish).

[@B16Dominoes]

Great job!

[@DominoGroup101]

TJ, these projects were so lit, i loved them! I can't believe how much you improved as a domino builder over the past year, and I'm happy that you uploaded again after a long time! This masterpiece is so so meaningful......... And it feels so different than any of your other videos, keep it up TJ! I'm so hyped for what's to come next! Btw I'm the first to comment ;)

[@D65]

This is an amazing video! The core concept of it is pretty meaningful, as enjoying the little things can be fun! The projects were also great overall, the colours were solid and you used a neat amount of tricks. Also, I found that the structures were really smooth! Great work :D
